Is it just me or does there seem to be less forum activity than previously (with the old forums)? I know they go through periods, or cycles...on again, off again increase and decreased activity. Maybe it’s just a learning curve and users just need to get used to the new. ???
No, I made that observation in another thread. Which I think exemplifies part of the problem. There just isn't enough traffic to justify all the different forums (IMHO). I appreciate what they are trying to do, but the transition isn't going to be fun. I realyl dislike this layout. Much prefer chronological.
I think it is a mistake to not let non- members post. I agree that it can be a member perq, What about letting non-members have a certain number of posts or one month free or something. Newspapers do that for reading online articles, you get so many then you have to pay. I think that might increase interest in the forums and then people could decide it was worth it to join.
Allen Stark Thanks for the suggestion on letting non-members have limited access. Its something we're considering for the future. The time and resources to create that functionality aren't realistic in the near term but over the next year or so we should have that type of capability available and will be discussing further.
